    Abstract: Despite Japan being a developed nation, half of its older population does not attend regular health checkups. The aim of the present study was to examine the individual health beliefs and personal recommendations that strongly influence health checkup attendance among community‐dwelling older adults. Methods In 2013, questionnaires were sent to 5401 community‐dwelling older adults who were not receiving long‐term institutionalized care. The response rate was 94.3%. We analyzed response data from 4984 older adults using multiple imputation to manage missing data. Participation in health checkups was defined as having undergone at least one checkup in the past 3 years, and non‐participation as having attended no checkups in this period. Results The participants’ mean age was 75.8 years, and 57.9% were women. The adjusted odds ratio of health checkup participation ranged from 1.35 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13–1.61) to 1.62 (95% CI 1.34–1.95) for positive individual health beliefs about health checkups, and was 2.21 (95% CI: 1.51–3.24) and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.17–2.08) for recommendations to participate from family and neighbors, respectively. All odds ratios were adjusted for age, sex, driving by oneself to daily shopping or clinic, paid work, method of response, internal medical therapy, polypharmacy, serious disease, periodic blood test, frailty and neighborly relationships. Conclusions The present findings suggest that both individual and community approaches might be effective in promoting participation in health checkups among community‐dwelling older adults.

    Abstract: Quality of sleep ( QOS ) has been shown to have an affect on mental and physical well‐being, and quality of life. However, few studies have investigated how sleep affects mobility in older adults. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between QOS and mobility disorder ( MD ) in community‐dwelling older adults. Methods Data collected through self‐administered questionnaires was analyzed for 4564 Japanese older adults. Sleep outcomes included two self‐reported questions regarding QOS . Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between sleep and MD both by the QOS questions independently and grouped together by the two QOS questions into three groups: often sleeps well and good awakening ( GG ), does not often sleep well and bad awakening ( BB ) and a group with one of each ( GB / BG ). Results After adjustment for age, sex and depression, both those who did not often sleep well and those with poor awakening were more likely to show MD ( OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.29–1.75), ( OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.50–2.08), respectively. When grouped by both questions, those in the BB group had the least favorable outcome with increased odds ratio for possessing a MD ( OR 1.95, 95% CI 1.61–2.37), compared with GB group ( OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.18–1.67). Conclusions Often sleeping well and good morning awakening were both associated with MD , suggesting that self reported QOS is associated with MD . Further research is required to investigate whether improving sleep quality could be a possible means of preventing and reversing MD in older adults. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2016; 16: 266–271.

    Abstract: With aging, it is important to maintain older community dwellers’ regular engagement with familiar community activities (CA) engaged in close to home to protect them from frailty. Thus, the present study aimed to examine whether CA items or CA score were associated with mortality or the need for care under the new long‐term care insurance service requirements over 3 years among community‐dwelling older Japanese adults. Methods We analyzed cohort data for older adults from a prospective cohort study in Kami town, Japan. The response rate to the self‐reported questionnaire was 94.3% ( n  = 5094), and we followed these participants for 3 years. Our final sample comprised 5076 older adults. Missing data were filled in using multiple imputation. We used seven items to assess CA: (i) volunteer activity; (ii) regional activity related to the neighborhood; (iii) visiting friends; (iv) hobbies or favorite lessons; (v) earning an income; (vi) farm work and growing vegetables; and (vii) shopping daily by oneself. The Kihon Checklist and new long‐term care insurance service certifications were used as the frailty screening and disability indices, respectively. Results During the follow‐up survey, 705 participants obtained new long‐term care insurance service certifications and 262 died. Using the receiver operating characteristic curve, the desirable cut‐off of the CA score to predict disability and mortality was at least two items for all elderly age groups in rural areas. Conclusions CA items and CA score could predict disability and mortality in community‐dwelling older adults in Japanese rural areas. Therefore, it is recommended that older adults from all age groups participate in CA. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 1114–1124 .
